While the Reliance Foundation chairperson looked gorgeous in an ivory-gold ensemble, paired with pearl and emerald jewellery, the business magnate looked sharp in a tailored suit and a crisp white shirt.
The power-couple admired the author's writing skills. Haribhakti had originally written the book in 1979 while doing his medical internship in rural Maharashtra as a 21-year-old young man.
Earlier on Friday, football kept the 55-year-old Mrs Ambani busy. The Football Sports Development Limited (FSDL) chairperson met with Indian Super League club owners - John Abraham, Abhishek Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor - and All India Football Federation chief Praful Patel to discuss two key initiatives in Mumbai.
